Cute and Festive Thanksgiving Cookies

One of my coworkers made the cutest little dessert turkeys for our Thanksgiving potluck:

We oohed and aaahed when she brought them in, and then all crowded around to snap pictures with our phones. We were all thinking the same thing - 'One day I'm going to make these'.

She was kind enough to give us the instructions. Starting from the bottom up, here's what you need:

feet - flower-shaped butter cookie
body - mini Reeses peanut butter cup
tail feathers - striped shortbread cookie
beak - candy corn
eyes - pre-made sugar eyes (she got them at a baking store, although I'm sure you could improvise with frosting)

glue the whole thing together with melted chocolate chips
